Olson, Lars, "A Dynamic Model of the Atlantic Salmon Fisheries Under Distant and Home Water Harvesting", 1985

This paper uses a dynamic model to study the effect of distant and home water fishing on the Atlantic salmon fisheries. Under open access, capacity in each fishery oscillates due to overfishing and adjustment lags in capital investment. It is shown that development of a feeding ground fishery imposes significant costs on home water fisheries. In a regulated environment, joint operation of the two fisheries can result in higher total catches and profits than when a moratorium is placed on feeding ground fishing.
